    Another cement floor lift question

    The floor was back filled watered and compacted. Obviously not enough tho. The garage is 40 by 35. There were no cuts. The contractor insisted the floor did not need it with the wire mesh in the concrete. Obviously Wong again.

    Vintage Air Compressors

    Ya it's super cool. I noticed the China plug too hahaha. It will need some work. The valve cover is broken and either the wheel is not on the shaft right or the crank is bent because the wheel hs a lot of wobble in it.. but it was FREE so I guess I can't complain

    Another Parts Washer Fluid and Storage Question

    I use the purple degreaser from home depot. It's the pro one and is safe for use on aluminum which purple power and simple green are not. I also was in the same boat as I am afraid of fire big time so it made the choice easy for water based
